Developers in San Francisco

It’s not Earth-shattering news given that the Seattle online real estate broker moved into the San Francisco market three months ago. However, it is interesting that the company — in addition to hiring real estate professionals — plans to bring on software developers and engineers in San Francisco.

Redfin already has three engineers working in the office under the supervision of Sasha Aickin, a former Plumtree Software employee. (Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman co-founded Plumtree).

Redfin Chief Technology Officer Brian Marsh said that the company — with 36 people in Seattle — is making a “deep investment in the Bay Area because the region is loaded with Internet-savvy real estate consumers, and great software engineers to boot.”

Redfin is not giving up on the talent in the Seattle area, saying that engineering and real estate operations will continue to be based here. But several of the jobs now listed on the company’s Web site say that candidates could be based in either Seattle or San Francisco.
